A review on natural gas/diesel dual fuel combustion, emissions and performance

Combustion and emission characteristics of a natural gas-fueled diesel engine with EGR

Combustion and emission characteristics of a turbocharged diesel engine using high premixed ratio of methanol and diesel fuel

Diesel engines are the main source of rapidly-growing energy consumption worldwide. Diesel consumption is responsible for serious air pollution, which includes nitrogen oxides (NOx), hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO) emissions and some particulate matter (PM) discharged from the combustion chamber. In the past few decades, alternative fuels, such as alcohol, biodiesel, natural gas, and Di Methyl Ether (DME), have been used in diesel engines to reduce energy costs and environmental pollution. As a result of alternative fuels directives, an increasing number of diesel engines have adapted dual fuel blends, and an enormous amount of research is focused on new and inadequately studied combustion and emission profiles. Compared to conventional diesel fuel, the application of dual fuels would add new parameters to combustion and emission profiles for diesel vehicles worldwide. This review aims to reveal (1) Known and anticipated combustion characteristics and emissions products from dual fuels. (2) Toxic properties and the expected influence on engine performance. (3) Identifying promising alternative fuels for emissions control in compression combustion engines. The results presented herein will show a significant reduction of regular gas and PM emissions by the use of alcohol/diesel dual fuel, while unregulated emissions such as methanol, ethanol, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, ketone, have increased compared to those from diesel fuel. PM emissions decreased significantly with the increase of alternative fuels, such as alcohols, natural gas, biodiesel and DME, while regular gaseous emissions varied depending on the type alternative fuel and the engine conditions. As one new and cleaner substitute for diesel engines, DME operation has a longer injection delay, lower maximum cylinder pressure, a lower ratio of pressure rise, and shorter ignition delay in comparison with diesel operation--the opposite of alcohol/diesel and dual fuels. This review evaluates the effects of some alternative fuels (alcohol, biodiesel, natural gas and Di Methyl Ether (DME)) on combustion characteristics and emission products from diesel engines to meet future emission regulations using alternative fuel.

The aim of the present work was the optimization of a small size Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system powered by a linear Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) solar field by means of numerical model code developed on purpose. In the proposed scheme the solar energy is collected by a newly designed low cost PTC of 20m 2 with a single tracking axis and it is concentrated on an opaque pipe collector in which flows as thermal fluid the Therminol® 66 oil. An oil-free scroll expander coupled with a 2 kW electrical generator is used to convert fluid energy into electrical energy. Cogeneration is performed by accumulating the waste in a double effect tank for domestic hot water (DHW) and heating. The use of cogeneration improves the global efficiency of the system from about 12% up to 30%. The numerical model implements the primary and secondary circuit as well as a detailed model of the PTC and the scroll expander. Real weather data of Brindisi (Italy) is considered to estimate and to optimize the performance of the plant. The system control and management have been optimized with the numerical model to increase the performance of the scroll expander with the development of energy-save strategies
